Around the town with a Giant

New York  - Jack in the storybook, our cameraman didn't have to climb a beanstalk to interview this giant.  He is Robert Wadlow, 8 feet 9 inches in his socks and weighs 450 pounds.  Being a giant has its disadvantages, tailors and shoemakers do not turn out haberdashery for giants as part of their regular working scheduled; nor do hotels feature rooms and beds for giants.  The camera shows you how Robert gets over some of his difficulties.  He is the star attraction at the Ringling Brothers, and Barnum and Bailey circus which opens at Madison Square Garden on Thursday, April 8th.

A sailor aboard the S.S. Queen Mary points out interesting features to the biggest visitor who ever boarded the ship.  He is Robert Wadlow.
